PC-BSD® is more than a cool operating system. It is a community of users, where each user is welcome to contribute their talents in order to constantly improve PC-BSD® and the PC-BSD® computing experience. The Handbook has many ideas to get you started in contributing to the PC-BSD® community.

If you are looking for more specific ideas, here is a categorized list of some open tasks that need your help.

review the Overall Completion column at the PC-BSD® localization site[3] to see if your language is fully translated; if not, help to translate the outstanding pages and review the translations that are pending review

review current website statistics mechanism to see how it can be improved to gather statistics such as what information is important to users and download trends (e.g. which mirrors receive most traffic, number of DVD downloads vs boot-only downloads, geographic stats, etc.)

datamine forums to see which questions remain unanswered in the Handbook or FAQs

create videos demonstrating how to perform common tasks on PC-BSD®. May be featured on the PC-BSD youtube channel. If you can't make a video you can always send your video / tutorial ideas to joshms@pcbsd.org and they may be featured in a future PC-BSD video on our channel.
